Two great fighters put on a huge show and, yet again, judges and money men ruin it. We should be talking about two great boxers here, instead of yet another corrupt piece of officiating. De la Hoya should be ashamed.
Awful fight to score. I could watch that again and again and have a different winner but 118-110 is a fucking joke.
I have now watched it 3 times and the winner is the same
I watched the HBO coverage this morning and there was a problem with the sound so I could hardly hear the commentary , I think this sometimes makes a difference.
Just watched it again. GGG by 4 rounds easy imo. Judge giving it 118-110. So fucking 10 rounds to 2. I don't care how close the rounds were, nobody can watch that and honestly only give Golvokin 2 rounds. Bullshit.

I rewatch 90% of fights the next day without the commentary. Shocking how much shite they talk.

Exactly , I thought there a few close ones but 10 rounds to 2 is totally mental.
GGG by KO or Alvarez pts. Want GGG to win as he has been immense for years however I don't see him being given the fight if it goes to the cards as Alvarez is a huge favourite in USA and even got a draw on one scorecard when he was outclassed by Mayweather
If there is any justice, the Nevada State Athletic Commission should haul Byrd in, confiscate any fee she received for officiating, and ban her for life from judging. The governing bodies whose belts were up for grabs should also all declare the fight a no contest - GGG does not deserve to have a draw on his unblemished record.
That's the only way any credibility could be restored after the fiasco of the May/Mac circus. This was an opportunity (lost) to restore boxing's image.
obvious .. a draw means a rematch wiv loadsa money involved
Not sure if that'll happen. I think Alvarez will know he dodged a bullet tonight. GGG appears to be made of granite and an incredible stamina.
I think he would still be fighting now if he needed to.
Alvarez knows a rematch is his best pay day around. It will happen.
this .. and who knows what was written into the pre-match contract ... Golovkin will be spitting bullets at losing his 100% win record, Alvarez will have learnt a lot about how to handle him.. that is IF you can handle a runaway bulldozer

The same Alvarez that said this in his post fight interview?
"I thought I won the fight. I was superior inside the ring. I won at least 7 or 8 of the rounds. I was able to counterpunch and even make Gennady Golovkin wobble a couple of times. It’s up to the people if we fight again, I feel frustrated over this draw.”

Rematch in May - please. Trip already booked.
, Byrd has form for it and she will still work within boxing after this is a scandal that should be eradicated but won't
Teddy Atlas gets it spot on the administration of the sport is corrupt
The Commission should bring her in today and say score that fight again
But that won't happen as the commission is as corrupt as the judge
Judge giving it 118-110. So fucking 10 rounds to 2. I don't care how close the rounds were, nobody can watch that and honestly only give Golvokin 2 rounds. Bullshit.
I had GGG by 3 or 4. He is like the fucking terminator.

I won't hold my breath.

Full fight if anyone missed it.

And GGG being another yr older will be in canello favour
The judge who scored it a draw is just as culpable for embarrassing the sport
It was a clear win for GGG a fight can be tight but this was not a draw it was a win
He knows he lost that fight.
